Bernard Kilonzo, Principal Analytics Consultant
Nairobi, Kenya

Bernard Kilonzo is a Principal Analytics Consultant, working to build reporting dashboards for clients and training individuals and teams on working with Tableau. His journey with Tableau began when he was dissatisfied with his banking career. Because he had a background and some education in data analytics, Bernard began exploring opportunities in the analytics industry, when he found Tableau. He describes his first experience with Tableau learning materials as an eye-opener, Bernard was fascinated by the ease of use and efficiency associated with the tool. He accredits his learning to various courses, blogs, Tableau training videos, and recreating dashboards he saw on Tableau Public.

As part of furthering his own Tableau journey, Bernard also started his own blog. He felt that he was able to better understand concepts when he was sharing his learnings with other people but with time, his blog became more popular and transitioned from a tool to help him to a platform for sharing his knowledge and ideas with others. Apart from his blog, Bernard is also a part of the Nairobi Tableau User Group, he shares his knowledge on social media and on his YouTube channel, and he has created a free Tableau training course.

Connect with Bernard on Linkedin, Tableau Public, and on his blog.
